I was off yesterday after being ill with sinusitis and general feeling crap for about 3 weeks. Feel a bit better but don't want to go in then get ill again. I know its nothing serious! Need to decide soon though!Confused Confused

If it's nothing serious you should go in. Have you got that Friday feeling by any chance?

Having had sinusitis too many times to remember I would stay off

Sorry you feel bad but yes I would go in to work. If you haven't showered yet maybe having a long hot shower might help, the steam always helps my sinuses.

Are you saying you have had one day off, following three weeks of a sinus infection which you worked through?

If you still feel pants, I would stay off.....

Ps FWIW stay off all dairy too....

Why would going in today make you ill again though?

I am only speaking from experience though. Where i used to work all sick days were logged, and if you had so many you had to have an interview with the line manager etc.....

I would go in. Unless I can't stand from dizziness or am vomiting I would be at work. More than 3 days of a year and I would be interviewed to see why

A true sinus infection is ghastly and needs rest rest rest. Especially after three weeks.... It means your body isn't kicking the damn thing and needs more (and maybe antiobiotics)

I have preschoolers so can't call in sick the days I have them!
